Day 73 Meeting with the Military

Finishing with his close people, Rexford was able to turn in for the night all of 3 minutes when Yanyan Hu came in with Wei Ziqing and Wei Changfeng.

Both kneeled on the ground immediately apologizing. For an act, they themselves did not commit. With Wei Changfeng's increase in cultivation thanks to the Earth Statue Rexford gave him, and the overall situation he kept training. His loyalty was stronger than most.

With hits to the floor by kowtowing, his skull was just that far with reinforcement of his body overall from the training that he actually was breaking Rexford's floor.

"Oh for all the.. just stop." Rexford sat up looking at them both. "Even more so I want people like you on my side." The Gold Qi connecting them to each other was really thick and plentiful. They were loyal even more so than before. A little bit scary really. "We are "all" different than what was shown. Better for it by the looks of it."

"I will make sure the Wei 3rd Generation does not fail you." Wei Changfeng stated.

"Wei 3rd, do as you have been doing and everything is fine. You all have seen the danger that is coming to your family now and you are not overly scared. That is good." Rexford just wanted to go to sleep at this point. "Wei Ziqing already is making sure they are doing phenomenal. Plus I got really good people already from you and resources galore. much stronger than the "me" you saw in those visions."

"Then I will continue to strive for better!" Wei Ziqing saluted. "Yang Chao is doing better. He is no killer but he will fight."

"That is fine.. wait a minute, are you two.." Rexford blinked a few times as he saw her cheeks redden just a bit. ". wow! Well, congrats and good luck and all that."

Yanyan Hu smiled and gave her a nudge. She told them Rexford would not be upset with their forming relationships with each other beforehand.

Wei Ziqing and Yang Chao bonded previously during training and when his confidence was completely shot after the fighting, when he didn't participate against the Muay Thai fighter, bringing his standing with the others down, she did great at helping him through it.

A budding romance that might make it or might not. The same as with Ji Xingyun and his relationship with the serving woman Kristi.

"Then please meet with my father, Wei Changgeng. He is a senior Colonel of the Jinling Military Region. He is understanding of what we feel about the elders making Wei Ziping the next leader. So he is a good inside man." Wei Ziqing said. "Tomorrow we will come to pick you up. Sorry for disturbing your rest."

Yanyan Hu took them both out. By the time she returned, Rexford was out like a light. In his Internal Space, the Mini worked away on the Herb recovered from the Cold Dragon Pond. There were also Cold Crystals obtained but that was given out to the others as resources for work. With one kept for experiments inside his garden.

"Ok, this Senna Plant is used to make Soul Forming Pills of a good level. With a drop of Rich Qi from the Black Gold Vortex, I wonder how high up it can develop?" The Mini moved a drop produced only doing another double-check to see he was not around anything troublesome. The tree was pretty far away and this was recently developed land in the Internal Space. "Here goes nothing."

*Splash!* The herb took in the rich qi and then expanded rapidly. It turned into something more and exuded the power of someone in the Qi Condensation stages in seconds. It was no longer of regular herb quality and close to manifesting sentience.

"Well... he is gonna be pissed as hell." The Mini facepalmed as the herb turned into a person a few moments later. To be exact the herb gained sentience. "Well.. hopefully, he doesn't kill it."

At the mention of that, the herb shot off for safety.

It went to the tree and then vanished from sight. The Mini was not going to bring this up as long as possible.

Meeting a military man-

.

Before making the meeting, a call came in regarding the Ghost Clan. Someone came to visit seeking help. Of the cultivator variety. Ji Xingyu was deployed to go and take care of it with Mr.Shi. With a few of the Wei 3rd generation going for the experience.

Wei Fu looked pretty good. A little brown returning to his once gray hair. He made ample strides in his cultivation but was weaker than his grandaughter Wei Ziqing. He was dressed in martial attire as usual.

Wei Changgeng, his son was dressed in military clothing. The man was straightforward enough but later instances cause a bit of an issue for him and overall the Wei family. Situations that could be handled easily realistically speaking with all the different methods at China's disposal but fell in the background in the series.

"No stylish clothes this time, that is good." Wei Changgeng said. Having checked into some of the things Rexford had done before he left for the Cold Dragon Pond he was impressed. Wei Ziqing did talk him up a bit. "The martial clothing you wore as the master of Ansatsuken.. I would like to meet your masters someday."

Wei Ziqing frowned a little with her grandfather doing the same at that. They told him that Master Mingyun's teachers were deceased already. He either found something that said otherwise or this was a test of sorts.

"They are all dead, so the only way to meet them would be if I killed you here and now." A grin formed on his face as Rexford pulled out a black & mild wood tip. Lighting it in the building. "Since you decided to disrespect me, I will do the same to you. going forward"

Wei Fu and Wei Ziqing looked at each other frowning still. Knowing full well someone was either going to get hurt or embarrassed. Maybe even both.

They watched in horror as Wei Changgeng's service pistol was pointed against his temple. The man was unaware it was floating.

"I hope this is enough to pass your simple test." Rexford took a draft simply while waiting. His finger made a pulling motion firing the gun.

*Pow!* Wei Changgeng had ducked thinking someone had broken into their meeting. His hand went to where his gun was looking for it. Not there, he panicked a little. Eyes immediately on his father and daughter to make sure they were fine.

"Why are you two just sitting there!?" Wei Ziqing just took a sip of her tea pointing behind her father. "What!?" The bullet was right there suspended in motion with the firearm itself. Held up by QI and the use of Rexford's Divine Sense.

"I think that is enough to ascertain his success." Wei Fu said solemnly. He eyed his granddaughter who didn't even budge from the firearm. Which means she knew what was going to happen or she was not afraid of firearms anymore. 'Something about her has changed greatly, I must speak with her later.'

"Yes!" Wei Changgeng grabbed the bullet and burned his finger just a bit. "He definitely has the abilities and is as strong as you say!"

*Fwish!* Chitang had appeared to the side looking at Rexford bored. He had tracked him all the way down after playing with the others and got bored.

"Don't mind him, he is my son." Rexford said simply. "Is there anything else you need?"

"Yes, I would like you to be the Chief Instructor of Canglang." Changgeng stops bowing his head looking at the boy. 'Ziqing said that the boy calls Wei Lan and Chang Wen mother. He is definitely young enough. If this Chang Wen would have had him when she was 13. That is definitely not the case!'

"Canglong is the Special Troop of Jingling, with the General Instructor holding a pretty high position. I would be responsible for training them in unity and battle. Or is it in martial arts?" Rexford understood what usually happens but he wanted a little more detail in these types of situations. 'The military connection directly won't be that bad. But it is odd considering my previous military background in the States. Then again, mercenary work afterward I didn't care much, so I should keep the mentality still.'

"We will give you the rank of Major General. With the provided background given beforehand with the documents for your enrollment processed, the rumors produced by those at your school go a long way." Wei Changgen stated. "Even then, without falsifying your age as well, it is the best we can do."

"Master Mingyun," Wei Ziqing spoke respectfully and politely. This was in the avenue of her work within his Household after all. "In a few years, you would publicly be the youngest Major General whose age is under 20 in Huaxia once it gets out."

"Oh, that is good." Rexford smiled. "Canglong has scored pretty bad in the seven military regions, poor development from the Departments that did not pay attention to development and adequate growth all over. Not to mention overall distaste."

Biao was standing quietly in the back until now. He stepped forward with being one of the people who used to be in the military in the area, he was very aware of the problems that occurred.

"Master!" Biao bowed respectfully before speaking. "I have done well in brushing up the information in the last few months. Quite a few of my former comrades were kicked out and on the run because of certain instructors."

"I didn't know it got that bad.." Wei Fu said.

"You have already arranged for his full reinstatement correct?"

"Yes, I have handled based on Ziqing's advice." Wei Changgeng stated. "I will look into these matters further and we will go from there. But if they are at fault, I cannot help them."

"I won't either mind you. But those who were not, Let's get them back in after a little thorough training." Rexford stated. Biao was most grateful for this. "Hope you are ready for the work."

Biao nodded happily. He was returning to his roots so to speak and he was more than excited to do so. The Underworld was fun and all but the military was something he did the hardest at first.

"Mr.Mingyun, you don't have to worry about most of the training. We have a full staff to help. Complete with a competent Instructor Team in Canglong for the modern training."

"Hmm, I know Modern Training greatly actually. My teachers were all in several branches of the military across the World. So I don't mind imparting a little to them." Rexford finished his tea picking up his black & mile. A quick deep drag and he finished it off. "After all, can't have them embarrassing the Military Training of the Ansatsuken."

"Gulp!" Biao swallowed hard. He is the only one that passed that training so far. "Let's not subject them to that! They won't survive!" His words caused the others to shiver a little.

"Let's stick with the Combat Ability Training." Wei Changgeng said. "It is not needed until another few months, so time to take care of anything you have."

Considering he didn't spend so much time in the mountains and away cultivating that was good. This left him ample time to get affairs in order and work on his various businesses.

"The winner of the competition previously was those of Ye Nantian. The Longya, from the Yanjing military region."

"As for the business aspect of it." Wei Fu gestured for some others to come around. "A few small deals to help with your business here. You have gone by the book for everything so no faults could be found. But these are government documents for a few other lands we thought you may be interested in."

"As well as making sure your position in Jianbei is not threatened." Wei Changgeng added in. "Even provides a little support to your parents."

"My parents are dead." Rexford arched a brow at him. "I go only by Mingyun Rexford for a reason. A cover or a name change only works with full commitment. If you provide protection to them, it is of your own accord nothing with myself."

Getting up he left with Chitang and Biao after finishing. Leaving those of the Wei family to discuss matters amongst themselves. Wei Ziyun had her work cut out for her.
